We are the public policy voice ofIowa's Protestant, Christ-centered schools.

The Iowa Association of Christian Schools was proud to have representation at the this year’s signing of the School Choice Week Proclamation. Proclamations are a way for Governors to honor and/or celebrate issues or events and distribute important information and concepts to Iowans.

Thank you, Governor Branstad, for recognizing the importance of school choice in Iowa and helping us celebrate the accomplishments to this point in giving parents and students more options in education. We firmly believe that a child’s education should never be limited by their income or zip code of residence. We are looking forward to working with Governor Branstad and leaders from both parties on advancing school choice in Iowa.

What makes this story so great is the sportsmanship and care shown by Des Moines Christian School students after their loss to EDF. Moments like this are why IACS fights so hard for its schools! Congratulations on a great season! We are extremely proud of you!

This is not an exhaustive list! Please let an IACS Board member or our lobbyist know if you have any questions about ESAs, Iowa ACE, or our involvement in the process to ensure universal school choice for all Iowa families!
